I need advice!!!

Im 38 weeks pregnant and lost my mucus plug yesterday, im 4cm dilated and have contractions that are really strong but they are irregular still. At 35 weeks I was 3cm dilated with lots of contractions. I even went into labor and then it stopped and they sent me home. This is my 3rd child and I was induced with the first two. Is anyone else like this? Im about to go crazy!

For my first baby, I lost my plug and went straight in. Even though I was only 2cm dilated and not contracting consistently, they gave me pitocin to start the process moving along. I think it's different depending on the physician you are seeing. Maybe ask them what options they can give you to get the ball rolling. Maybe they can break your water since you are already 4cm and contracting, regardless of regularity. Hope this helps you...
